On May 8, the District of Columbia Circuit Court will hear the federal government’s appeal of Thomas Aquinas College’s victory over the HHS Mandate. The government is asking the court to lift the permanent injunction that has thus far shielded the College from the federal policy compelling employers to provide contraceptive, sterilization, and abortifacient coverage in their health plans.
To celebrate the Feast of Divine Mercy, Chaplain Rev. Michael Chabarek, O.P., led a Eucharistic process across the campus after Sunday’s 11:30 a.m. Mass. The procession visited each of the residence halls, where students kneeled, sang hymns, and prayed before the Eucharistic Lord.
Jesus, we trust in you!

Over the course of these next three days of the Easter Triduum, many Thomas Aquinas College students will spend their time in retreat, praying over, reading, and discussing the works of the Church’s next saint — Bl. John Paul II.
